@Ehsan from comment #30 ("I'd be curious to know, FWIW!"):
Turns out that the Thunderbird e-mail front end is one big JS/XUL application:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/source/editor/ui/composer/content/editor.js
I haven't looked very much, but I can answer some questions. For example the
"Bold button" is defined here:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/source/editor/ui/composer/content/editorOverlay.xul#1138
There is an observer, so when the bold state changes, it gets noticed and the
UI is updated.
I will now hunt through this code to see whether I can find the cause of
the lost font.

Title:
composer changes font mid email
Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News:
Confirmed
Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Binary package hint: thunderbird
As I'm typing my emails in Thunderbird, I can see what appears to be a
font size change on screen, normally in the second line of text. The
second line appear smaller than the first. It's barely perceptible, so
half them time I think I am imagining it.
Well, I've started Bccing to myself to check, and the emails I am
receiving from myself are not only a different size, they're also a
different font. Composer starts in some default serif, and by the
second line is sans. I'd bee glad to email someone viz thunderbird,
and also send along a screenshot of how it looks while I am typing.
Thanks.
